Bywater Properties and Stallan Brand have begun work to rejuvenate the former Breckenridge House on Sauchiehall Street into a creative workspace by early 2020.

McLellan Works will offer large open plan floorplates combined with a mix of ground floor retail, food and beverage businesses to help facilitate working from dawn to dusk.

The development will also serve as a gateway to the McLellan Galleries and GSA with a central lobby area which can double as a meeting space.

Theo Michell, principal at Bywater Properties, said: “One of our main propositions is for a lobby and large corner restaurant to be the lead food and drink offerings, ideally local, independent and maybe from somewhere like Glasgow’s Finnieston scene. As part of the revitalised Sauchiehall Street area, McLellan Works will be a vibrant and creative location, with a full after work offering for people, right on their doorstep.

“McLellan Works will be a living, breathing, collaborative space and we look forward to seeing the building come to life over the coming months. Glasgow is ready for a space like this and there are changemakers and innovative companies who want to join other creative businesses to build and grow this new community.”

McLellan Works is one of a new breed of office environments geared toward entrepreneurial businesses springing up around the UK which seek to stimulate new businesses and their host cities.
